17false hope is the war-horse to usher in victory, for all its great might it can provide no escape.
18See! The eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his kindness;
19to deliver their life from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20We wait for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21For in him our heart is glad, we trust in his holy name.
